"Evening!
I'm dreaming up a casual Grey Knights build for use in friendly games. It's designed to be able to win, whilst being fun to play. I'd appreciate it if you - personally, if possible - could take a look at it.
The List
Grand Master - 175
Callidus - 145
6 Purifiers - 225
- 2 Psycannons, 3 Halberds, Hammer, Psyback
6 Purifiers - 225
- 2 Psycannons, 3 Halberds, Hammer, Psyback
5 Terminators - 200

5 Terminators - 200
- 4 Halberds, Hammer
Storm Raven - 205
Storm Raven - 205
5 Grey Knights - 150
- 4 Incinerators, Psyback
Psyfleman - 135
Psyfleman - 135
The Question
What changes would you make? I'd quite like to keep the 2 Storm Ravens, and 2 Psyflemans. The rest is up for changing as you see fit. I wouldn't mind Paladins instead of Terminators, if you can figure out a way to shoe-horn them in there.
Thanks,
Martin"
What's going in the Stormraven? I assume the Terminators and not really a fan of that as they are excellent walking and shooting units due to relentless. Not sure Paladins are going to fit either because of the expense we're putting into the Stormravens. Really without any henchmen or Venerable Dreads I wouldn't want to put anything in those Stormravens so we might just run them as gunboats for the moment. Not super efficient but since you're running a more fun list it's okay. Put psybolt ammo on them both so the heavy bolter and assault cannon combo is a lot scarier to your opponent.
From there everything looks pretty decent but you're lacking scoring (you want to be flexible with Grand Strategy and what if you roll a 1? not much scoring at 2000). The Grand Master himself should get some upgrades (like Grenades + Halberd) and not sure what the Callidus is adding here. With that in mind I'd drop the Purgation squad and Callidus and give the Grand Master some grenades and a Halberd. The rest of your points I'd go into supporting the Purifiers with Grey Knight Strike Squads in Razorbacks (psycannon + Psyback option). This gives you more bodies, scoring and firepower overall but we're probably going to be over points a little bit so you might need to make each Purifier squad five strong instead of six.
